Is there even an anti cheat on dbd?

First game of killer I played in 2 months and I already got a speed hacker. Survivor was moving at 4.6m/s against my gunslinger, ran around the outside of the shack many many rounds with bloodlust kicking in and still couldn't catch her. Either hax, or real amazing gaming chair.

There is Easy Anti-Cheat which is a joke. No game it's ever been in has stopped blatant hackers. It's used in The Division 2 (and 1?), and the hacking in that game is widespread.

You would think a company that makes record profits every year could afford to make and tailor their own anticheat, but I guess not.

Hackers aren't RAMPANT in DbD, but they're not entirely uncommon either. In my 700 hours, I've had survivors blatantly running at 110-115% speed (I circled around a thin tree and couldn't catch up until bloodlust kicked in), survivors doing gens at impossible speeds (I downed one survivor in the first 30 seconds of the match, and 3 gens popped instantly- when I know only two were being worked on, because I saw another survivor hiding nearby for a flashlight save attempt), and people avoiding getting hit entirely, just standing there in the open and letting me swing, my weapon bouncing off them as if they were a solid object.

Indeed, tbh this is the first game I ever encountered hackers in, after about 860 hours on dbd. It's just frustrating that this is still a thing, especially in an online game, that's also PvP.

Cheaters that use cheats that affect stuff in-match are rare, Usually It is a player not realising something and calling cheats.

Examples:
"Those gens popped in 20 seconds, No way they are not cheating!" = The killer miscounted.

"He is running me on this loop for 2 minutes, He must be speedhacking!" = You are cutting the corners so wide that he is gaining distance on you.

If you notice any weird stuff like being unable to grab someone, Being hit from miles away or not being able to hit someone then you can blame dedicated servers for that one.

The current anti cheat only detects changes to the game files so it does ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to actual hackers XD

Hacking is a thing. Since matches are so short im laughing and keep going on.

i hardly see any hackers, I assume if I played on russian lobbies i would see way more but I play on NA servers and I have seen 2 cheaters in ~1k hours

Yeah, after playing almost 900 hours, I'm pretty sure I know how to cut corners tight, and I know how much distance a survivor can keep against a deathslinger at most loops. Anyway, post-game I called him out on it and he just replied "I'm hacker".
